Ive said it before commercials aren't about convincing you the thing is a good idea to buy it's just about forcing that thing into your memory you'll forget what you thought about the commercial but you'll remember their product exists

If I weren't blocked by most of the sloppers already, I would like to ask what the end game for them is. They've traded their specific and valuable skills to type prompts like pretty much anyone can do. In what world does this work out well for you, and not you getting fired or a salary decrease?

I just read the "hook" and "trace" tutorials in the lua manual and just had to change a couple things here and there to get it to interface correctly with the game's naming conventions for debugging game events damage done characters/objects spawned alerts created characters exploding into gore

Variant @variantz.bsky.social · 13h
youtu.be/g0jjNoR09Tc the key words are "context" and "human" because these two words combined create the answers for "why" and "how can we fix it?" when doing debugging I should know, after all, I discovered the "context.event" lua table in Prototype 2 it updates dynamically with every event

sucks for you guys! it's a cold virtual world when you're programming with no developer commentary, and the only thing you have is your intuition sometimes you might start to ponder "who were these guys? why did they build it THIS way?" until you are thinking like a team of 50 people good luck!!

Variant @variantz.bsky.social · 13h
you know what i just realized Letting AI develop everything means that when you finally hit a roadblock and you NEED a human to go in, take a look, and actually SEE why something isn't working every programmer's job will be as complicated as reverse engineering the Prototype 2 game engine was

I know books can be great and very enjoyable and all that I'm happy for everyone who enjoys them But reading a book makes me feel like I'm trapped in someone else's head without eyes or ears or a mouth, and yet I must scream

also this morning when i woke up to take a piss, i came out of the bathroom and the fuckin fire sprinkler on my ceiling was leaking looked it up and apparently they are only triggered by intense heat (its only 70 in here), damage (didnt touch it), or corrosion/malfunction. so not my fault

The behavior of AI boosters reminds me of when I was at a conference and people were there with competitive Microsoft Excel, and they literally could not grasp the concept of fun They were so confused why people play video games for hundred of hours instead of doing something productive like Excel

"Direct your dream game" says Unity Y'all game direction is many things but I can guarantee you that "genre + setting" is not game direction for anyone who has been a game director even just for 5 minutes Which should tell you enough about who made this, and whether you should trust them with this

"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.
